Clan History

| Arms of the Chief of Clan Stewart |
Clan Stewart (Gaelic: Stiùbhard) is a Highland Scottish clan. The clan is recognised by Court of the Lord Lyon[1], however it does not have a clan chief recognised by the Lord Lyon King of Arms.
Because the clan has no chief it can be considered an armigerous clan; however the Earls of Galloway[2] are now considered to be the principal branch of this clan, and the crest and motto of The Earls of Galloway's arms are used in the Clan Stewart crest badge.
The Court of the Lord Lyon recognises two other 'Stewart' clans, Clan Stuart of Bute and Clan Stewart of Appin.
Clan Stuart of Bute is the only 'Stewart' clan at present which has a "recognised" chief[3].

Wikitree is not directly involved with DNA testing. All you would do is enter where you took a DNA test and what the Kit number was. You would have to use gedmatch or something else to compare your test results with others.

My name is Kimberly Kelly and one of my paternal lines is Stewart. I am excited about learning more about the Stewart Name Study and hopefully participating in it.
You can add the Clan Stewart tag right now as your surname allows it.
Best regards
Allan Stuart.
p.s. I can always do with help expanding the information on this great clan.
Regards
Allan Stuart.
By the way, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for all the work you have done with Stewart profiles. When I arrived here I didn’t have to go very far up my tree to connect to your work and it made my studies a lot easier. Hopefully, I can add some knowledge and clarity to your efforts here and return the favor.
Question: Do I need to wait until I complete the Tartan Trail before I add the Clan Stewart tag to my profile?
I am interested in joining the Stewart Name Study. I have a few branches of Stewart in my tree and it’s my surname. I am also a lifetime member of the Stewart Society.
My main interest is finding where my YDNA originates. We are currently stuck in North Carolina with my 5th great-grandfather Charles Stewart, born in 1761 and soldier in the American Revolution. He has been confused with William Stewart’s (of Ledcreigh) son Charles, born around the same time and location for decades now.
My paternal grandmother is also a Stewart through her father’s line (which is much less murky) and can be traced back to John Stewart 1st of Dalswinton and Garlies on Wikitree: Stewart-3688
I have yet to discover any more lines of Stewart in my tree but I have barely touched my mother’s side of the tree. The above is from my paternal grandparents.
I would love to participate in this project.
Thank you so much for your interest. The Stewart Clan on this site is a team within the Scotland Project. You can join the Scotland Project by answering this thread on g2g: https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1040035/have-scottish-ancestors-interest-scotland-scotland-project?show=1040035#q1040035.
